attended, and counted among its delegates
Mrs. Justice Waite, Miss Lille Devereux
Blake. Mrs. Francis Il. Willard, Miss RAJ
chel Foster, of Philadelphia, and other dis
tinguished ladies of the strong minded or
der. Among the visitors, the reports say,
is Pundita Ramabai, "a high caste Brahmin
lady," who wears the native Indian cos
tune and attracts great attention" There

Novelist Eugene jain, better known by
the non de plume, "E. Marlitt," is dead,
aged 62 years. In her maiden days she
had great liking for the stsge, but she

novels, The Twelve Apostles" (1S65,)
Gold Elsie" (1S76. and The Old Mann
zelIe's secret" (1667,) which were the first
to make her a literary reputation, were
followed by many others, all of which
were widely read, and introduced to
American readers by the translations of
Mrs. Wistar. The last year of the writer
whose pen had entertained hundreds OF
thousands of readers in both hemispheres,
were sad dened by great physical suffering,
from VIII ich death was welcome relief.

Insects are doing considerable damage in
some localities to corn, the chinch bugs
having, as We feared, attacked this crop
after the harvesting of winter wheat. The
average condition of the crops, as calcula-
ted from our reports received last week, in
the different States is as follows: Twelve
counties in Illinois report an average con-
dition OF 81 per cent. twelve Indiana
counties, 50 per cent; seven counties
in Ohio 9S per cent; fourteen
Missouri counties report the
condition as high as 106 per cent, while
thirteen counties in Nebraska place it ct
104 per cent, and "a counties in Iowa beat
these figures with al average condition OF
lob per cent. Fourteen counties in Mime
sofa report the condition at an average OF
so per cent, and seven counties in Wis
cousin reports a like average. Dakota
counties lead the whole list with
an average of 100 per cent.
Six Michigan counties place
their average at 1O1 per cent, and Ken
lucky counties reporting this week at 100
per cent. Nine counties in Kansas report
an average condition of 102 per cent. Pas
lures are suffering from lack of lain. Po-
tatoes and apples do not promise much
more than half crop. Hay hardly
reaches that figure.

acres; about !. 900 people got out of bed to
witness the fire, and the city was greatly
excited over it.

TEMPERATURES AND RAINFALL.

The Weather Crop Bulletin for the Week
Ending July l6.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE following IS
the weather crop bulletin of the signal Of
fee for the week ending July 10:
mperature-DuriDg the week ending
July 10, 1887, the weather has been warmer
than usual except in the Gulf States, north
ern New England and on the Pacific Coast
tba average daily excess ranging from
three to eight degrees from the middle A.
lantic States westward to the Rocky Noun
tains. 1t has been slightly cooler than usual
IN the cotton region and on the Pacific
coast the daily average was from thres to
five degrees below the normal. The
average daily temperature for the season
from January to July 16, 1887, differs
but slightly from the normal in the agri.
cultural districts, there being a daily ex-
cess of about one degree in the Mississippi,
Ohio and Missouri valleys. The season
has been slightly cooler than usual on the
South Atlantic coast, and from Lake
Superior westward to the Pacific coast.
misunderstanding the week there has been
q deficiency In the rainfall generally
throughout all agricultural districts east
of the Rocky Mountains, except in Mime
sofa, Northern Wisconsin, Colorado and
Eastern Dakota, where slight excuses are
reported. The rain fall has also been
slightly in excess at stations on the New
England coast. In the cotton region more
than one half the usual amount
of raipfalI occurred, while in the
corn and tobacco regions slightly less
than one-half the usual amountis reported.
The large seasonal deficiency of rainfall
previously reported in the States of the
Upper Mississippi and Lower Missouri Val.
legs has been still further increased dur
ing the past week, and 1t now ranges from
ten to seventeen inches in the cotton re-
gion, and from five to ten inches in Illinois
and Iowa.
General remarks-Reports received dur
Ing the week indicate that the weather has
been favorable for the cotton crop In the
eastern and in the central portions of the
cotton region, but in sections of the Lower
Mississippi Valley conditions are varied,
some sections reporting that more rain is
needed, while others report that excessive
rains and low temperatures have affected
crops injuriously. There has been an
excess of temperature and more than the
usual amount of sunshine in the corn
regions, and these conditions, combined
with the deficiency of rainfall for the
week, have probably resulted in some in.
Jury to this crop. Local showers have
fallen in sections of the corn belt, but not
over the entire area, and the rain was not
in sufficient quantities.
The weather has been favorable for the
harvesting of wheat, which has been gen.
orally completed, except in Minnesota and
Dakota, where ii is now in progress, and
where all growing crops were improved.
In New England aud the middle Atlantic
States, the weather has affected favorably
all growing crops.
The indications at a. m. to-day, July
II, are that showers will occur in the next
twenty-four hours in the western portions
OF the corn belt, where they are greatly
needed.

PASSED WITHOUT AMENDMENT
The House of Lords Considers this Crimes
Bill In Committee.

LONDON, July 15.-The Crimes bill was
discussed in committee in the Lords to-
night. L-crd Northorook (Li5eral ex-
pressed surprise at the summary disposal
of debate on the bill yesterday Before
further proceedings with Irish legislation
be urged that the party leaders give the
country definite answers on the following
four points: Were the Irish members to
remain in Westminster? Was the province
OF Ulster to be treated separate from Ire
lano2 Yves the duty to maintain law and
order to be entrusted to Irish Parliament?
Was the power over land to be committed
to the Irish Parliament
Lord Rosenberg (Liberal) held that a
discussion of these points was outside the
scope Of the crimes bill. The Liberal
Peers were in a hopeless minority and
could do no more than protest against the
bill. In conclusion, he said he felt bound
to warn the government of the effect of
the measure. Their administration in Ire
land would have to be continued in state
of siege.
After further brief discussion the bill
was passed in committee without amend
ment. The bill will be read third time
Monday.

Correcting the organist.

A celebrated musical critic was recently
married in church, and after the ceremony,
ss the wedding procession marched down
the aisle, the organist played the wedding
march from Loheagrin. When near the
door the bridegroom stopped in the march
and addressed the wondering assembly
thus:
'I know 1 am committing a breach Of
etiquette as well as propriety in doing
this, but am not to blame. 1t is my
mental organization which has become in
effably sensitive, by reason of the critical
nature OF my duties"
Then he drew from the pocket OF his
dress coat a well thumbed copy OF the
score of LoheDgrin. Opening it at the
msrch he said to the orgsnist: what
offended my ear was the fact that In the
seventeenth bar OF the da cappo passage
you flatted very badly, and In the andante
movement you slurred the appoggiatura.
Nov" putting his finger upon the pass
age, slet us try that sgain."
Onre more the organ pealed forth, and
this time the player, conscious that the
great critic was keeping tab upon him, &C
complished his duty with credit to him
self and. to. .theIgeat satisfaction of the
critic.

suit of the drought the oat crop is rlpen-
ing too fast, and will hardly make three
quarters of an average crop, il the drought
continues.
Estimates OF the average yield OF winter

From the San Francisco American. I
Delicious ration,
Rare combination.
OF fruit, preferred by Eve;
Should tell TO thee,
All that is due thee,
Hail. thou would'st not believe.
Half of my pain
Is owed in main
To sheltering thee at night;
Half of my pleasure
To gene rous measure
Of thee at seasons right.
Crusty replies,
Deep quivering signs,
From my hearts inmost core;
Sins I've committed,
Good deeds omitted,
All owed 10 thee and more.
Yet, do 1 love thee,
And naught above thee,
Or on this earth below,
Shall e'er induce me,
When friends produce thee,
TO answer to them-No!
Record this vow,
Henceforsh from now,
And ever from this night,
Her most III prize,
Who Sc apple pies,
Can MI me with delight.
